Summer "Green Beans" (young Black-Eyed Peas)

In the Arizona heat, true green beans check out early, but young black-eyed peas step in as the summer hero. Harvested fresh in their tender pods, they look and cook just like green beans, with the same sweet, snappy flavor. Toss them in a quick sauté, steam them as a side, or roast them with garlic and olive oil. They hold up beautifully and bring that classic green bean experience to the hottest part of the season. Not technically beans, but you’d never know it at the dinner table! Sold as a 1/2 lb bag.
